My two B.R. hens have a single nest w/ 15 eggs in it, adding one or two per day. It is in their enclosure but under the weather...
They are not setting more than about 25% (?) of the time....It has been a little cold and rainy, even a bit of slush fell on them at one point. Are those eggs in 'stasis' , or are they dead?
I don't have an incubator, and if a good percentage would hatch naturally, I would let them be. I'd really like at least a dozen chicks though.
So........Advice????
Thanks in advance, Ernie in Vermont
